Policeman Arrested After Wife’s Fatal Stabbing
A retired police officer has been arrested in Bwera Division, Kasese District, for allegedly stabbing his wife to death in a domestic violence incident.
Sipiriano Kyakwairwe, 65, was taken into custody after reportedly attacking and fatally stabbing his 50-year-old wife, Night Masika, at their home in Kakone I Village, Nyakiyumbu Sub-county, on March 17, 2025.
According to neighbour Suzan Masika, the suspect had previously expressed frustrations over his wife’s alleged extramarital affairs, which had led to their separation.
“He had been complaining about their marriage problems, accusing her of having multiple relationships. They had separated, but she returned yesterday to collect her belongings,” Suzan Masika said.
She added that shortly after Masika entered the house, neighbors heard her screams.
“By the time we reached, the door was locked from inside,” she recounted.
Another resident, Jockus Funga, said that when they finally managed to break down the door, it was too late.
“We found Masika lying in a pool of blood with deep stab wounds in her stomach. The suspect was still seated on her, holding the knife,” Funga said.
Bwera Division Police Commander, SP Ramadhan Tai, confirmed the arrest and provided details of the ongoing investigation.
“We received a distress call from residents about a domestic violence-related murder. Our officers arrived at the scene and found that the suspect had fatally stabbed his wife,” Tai said.
“Preliminary findings indicate that the attack was triggered by a dispute after the deceased attempted to leave the home. The suspect is now in custody at Bwera Police Division as investigations continue.”
He urged residents to seek peaceful ways of resolving domestic conflicts and to report early signs of violence to the authorities.
Local leaders condemned the incident, calling for stronger community engagement in addressing domestic violence.
Nyakiyumbu Sub-county Chairperson, Peter Kakule, emphasized the need for preventive measures.
“This is a tragic case that could have been avoided. Families must be educated on conflict resolution, and cases of domestic violence should be reported before they escalate,” Kakule said.
Authorities have encouraged residents facing domestic challenges to seek help through legal and counseling services to prevent further loss of lives.
Renowned televangelist Pastor Benny Hinn received a rapturous welcome in Uganda as tens of thousands flocked to witness what many have described as a spiritual awakening.
The founder of the World Healing Center Church is currently on a healing crusade in Kampala, hosted by Pastor Robert Kayanja of the Miracle Centre Cathedral.
Day one of the crusade saw an estimated crowd of over 200,000 people gathered in anticipation of divine miracles. In a message shared on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Hinn expressed joy and awe at the massive turnout and the spiritual energy of the night.
“Precious people, something extraordinary is happening in Uganda. Over 200,000 souls gathered on Night 1 of our Healing Crusade in Uganda! 60,000 lined up at 8AM for a 7PM service. 10,000 pastors stood in unity. And already, 14 nations are represented,” Hinn wrote.
The preacher went on to claim that the power of God was so strong that numerous people experienced supernatural healings. Among the alleged miracles were the disappearance of throat cancer, the restoration of blind vision, and relief from chronic pain.
“The Power of God came down like a mighty river. Throat cancer disappeared. Blind eyes were healed. Chronic pain vanished. This is the move we’ve prayed for… and it’s only just begun,” he added.
The roads leading to the crusade venue were choked with heavy traffic and large crowds on foot, many bringing along loved ones battling various illnesses. The atmosphere was charged with hope, emotion, and spiritual fervor as worshippers sang, prayed, and waited for what they believed could be their miracle moment.
One particularly emotional moment occurred when Pastor Jessica Kayanja, wife to the host pastor, reportedly fell under the “power of the Holy Spirit” after being prayed for by Hinn, prompting cheers and spiritual outpourings from the audience.
However, the crusade has not been without its critics. Some Ugandans online questioned the authenticity of the healing claims, suggesting that such miracles, if genuine, should be demonstrated in medical settings like Mulago Hospital, where countless patients suffer without such divine intervention.
Despite the doubts, the event marks one of the largest religious gatherings Uganda has seen in recent years, and many faithful remain hopeful that this crusade will continue to bring spiritual and physical transformation to those in need.
